help Manifesto Cacao FAQ
What does bean-to-bar mean for Manifesto Cacao?
It means the maker controls the transformation from fermented cacao beans through roasting, grinding, refining and molding the finished chocolate. That differs from chocolatiers who buy ready-made couverture and only create fillings or molded products.
Does Manifesto Cacao use Mexican cacao?
Manifesto Cacao operates in Oaxaca and emphasizes Mexican cacao sourced through local or regional producers. The exact origin can vary by bar, so buyers should check whether a package names a particular farm, community or harvest.
Why can two Manifesto Cacao bars with the same cocoa percentage taste different?
Cacao variety, fermentation, roasting and growing region all affect flavor independently of the printed percentage. A 70% single-origin bar can therefore taste fruitier, nuttier or more acidic than another bar containing the same proportion of cacao.
Is Manifesto Cacao the same as traditional Oaxacan drinking chocolate?
Not necessarily. Oaxacan drinking chocolate is commonly ground with sugar and sometimes cinnamon, while a bean-to-bar eating bar is refined and tempered for a firm snap and smoother melt.
